How about severely limiting "Super" class entries?

Ok maybe I went to far when I said others pile on, but some did immediately agree about .90 racing being a form of racing they didn't care for or the spectators would also not care for....

BREAKOUT racing is what spectators don't get and never will and it doesn't matter what category that is....

Nobody would really argue that the modern timed throttle stop used in all the .90 categories isn't contrary to "drag racing" and does not look like drag racing to the casual observer...

We are racing under a different set of rules....and racing against each other and the clock.....and the timed throttle stop proved to be an advantage so nearly everyone uses it....

Just wondering how do the quota numbers for the super classes compare to Stock/SuperStock

The 'sportsman quota' varies by event, but the quota is always equal for Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, and Super Gas.

Separate the pros and alky cars from the sportsman racers and I hate the electronics, but you have to use them. ss and stock are bracket racers with rules. I am moving from sg to bracket racing mo money. I love ss and stock racing, I have a lot friend running both
